what is skin effect?

Answer Posted / gaurav kr rai

in a conductor the resistance on the surface is lesser than the resistance in the core of the conductor because of the cross sectional area increased at surface as we know that resistance R is inversely proportional to cross sectional area.So when an A.C. current passes through the conductor mostly it travels on the surface of the conductor and this phenomena is known as skin effect.

I have a small system with two motors that are running on 380 vac, 60 hz. These motors are expensive and I usally get them from Brazil. I am adding another motor to the system, but I want to purchase a 480 vac, 60 hz motor to use. It will be on a VFD that is rated fro 380 thru 480. Is this posible and will I have to use a larger motor and derate it?
